Riverdale dog parents share their Rover experiences
This was my second time booking with Hector, and once again he did an excellent job caring for my dog. He is reliable, communicative, and always attentive to my dog’s needs. I appreciate how respectful and professional he is when coming into my home, which makes the entire experience stress-free. It’s reassuring to know my dog is in good hands, and I will definitely continue rebooking with him in the future.
Marin is such an incredible dog walker for my senior potties. She was consistently reliable, communicative, and clearly cared deeply about my dog’s well-being. Marin was attentive to Patrick’s needs, accommodating, and always made me feel at ease knowing he was in good hands. I am truly appreciated her professionalism, kindness, and the genuine care she showed throughout our time working together. Again, I’m grateful for all of her help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker 💚
Emmanuel has been walking my dog Phoenix for over a year daily and he is amazing. She can be a very anxious and dog reactive Shepherd but he handles her very well and makes her feel safe. She loves him and gets so excited everytime she sees him. Emmanuel is very communicative with any changes in his schedule or if he is running late to a walk and I appreciate that so much. He's become family!
Jennifer is amazing! She has such a warm presence that makes you and your fur baby feel at ease. Jennifer is great with communication and always prompt with walks. She goes out of her way to make sure everyone is comfortable. We are so happy to have trusted Jennifer with our baby and cannot wait to work with her again.
Bella was really great with our Yogi Bear! It was his second time walking with her, and he already has grown attached. She is very dedicated and even worked with us to align schedules when there was a family emergency. We look forward to booking more future walks with her 🙂🐾.
